Crank The ShieldDates: September 18, 2009 to September 20, 2009
Chico Racing decided to offer this unique adventure once people settle into their post-summer routines. People are less busy, and riders have had the entire summer to get in shape. Also, Ontario has a long and sometimes brutal bug season. Imagine swatting mosquitoes and horseflies for 5 hours a day in late July? September will have virtually no bugs, and the weather can still be downright balmy. Lakes are still swimable, the leaves have yet to fall, and the humidity of summer has dissipated. Add to this the availability of summer camps that would otherwise be full, and it's obvious the best time for an event like this is late summer/early fall.

The 56th Corduroy EnduroDates: September 26, 2009 to September 27, 2009
The Corduroy Enduro is Canada’s most challenging cross-country (off-road) motorcycle event. In the 1950s when the Corduroy began, many of the low-lying back roads and trails in the Haliburton area had sections of corduroy over the swamps (logs laid side by side across the trail) to make them passable – a technique used since pioneer times. The 2-day event consists of a 150 km loop each day which riders must complete in a specified time. There are spectator friendly Special Test Sections to challenge the riders off-road abilities. Riders come from across Canada and the United States for this event. Also included are a non-competitive trail ride and a GPS dual sport ride. At the Community Centre, there will be a vintage bike display, a tire change contest after Saturday’s ride, and other social activities.
